Chapter 217 Family Tragedy
The only sounds in the luxurious carriage were the calm breathing of Su Lan and Fiona. Fiona's eyes were a little confused. She began to think about one thing. If what Su Lan said was beneficial to her, how should she face it? Why is Su Lan still looking for that sealed artifact after disappearing for eight years?
"What? Silent? Don't you have anything to say?" Seeing Fiona not speaking, Su Lan spoke softly, and every word she spoke struck a chord in Fiona's heart.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Fiona suddenly turned around and asked Su Lan urgently, with a strange light shining in her eyes.
"Before I answer your question, you have to tell me why you came to Catic City. If it's for me, then who told you the information?" Seeing that Fiona was a little shaken, Su Lan tapped on the window with her fingers. On the side, there was a very rhythmic knocking sound.
"No... since you disappeared, I have inferred that you brought out the Upside Down Pointer in a special way. Of course, this is just a small inference on my part, but it seems that my inference is very possible." Fiona She softly denied Su Lan's question and looked at Su Lan curiously. As far as he knew, the upside-down pointer was a fully revived sealed artifact at the time. If it was really Su Lan who brought it out, how did she avoid the family's inspection? , and how to seal or suppress the revived sealed object.
"Inference...heh, does anyone else know besides you?" Su Lan was not surprised to hear that Fiona inferred that she had the upside-down pointer. After the family's upside-down pointer disappeared, her fake father's reaction was too much. Normally, this was not in line with the reaction of a high-ranking family to a top-level sealed object, but she didn't expect to hide it for long. She had been in the Cadde Room for 8 years, and she still hadn't found any specific information about the sealed object, which made her a little bit confused. anxious.
"Your family knows that you took away the sealed artifact?" Seeing Su Lan's dull reaction, she said with a slightly confused tone, because the Moxi family's reaction at that time was too dull. This was a seal numbered in the top 20 things.
"Has there ever been another high-ranking person in your family?" Su Lan did not answer Fiona. She looked out the window and slowly said something that everyone knew.
Fiona was stunned when she heard this. She instantly recalled the history of her family. In his knowledge, after her ancestors achieved high-order status, there had never been another high-order sequence. The highest one was stage six. This matter has long been speculated by tribesmen as to whether there can only be one high-order position. In the end, it was confirmed that the position of high-order position is indeed fixed. The tribesmen who were confirmed never pursued this matter again. Could it be that What's the secret here?
Seeing Fiona's doubts, Su Lan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, and she slowly revealed a shocking secret.
"The position of the high-order position is indeed fixed, but for us, we will never be able to advance to the high-order position in our lives. This is the restriction of blood. We will never be able to achieve the high-order position. If we want to solve this sequelae, we will A 'blood exchange' is necessary, but the ancestral blood has been completely integrated with us, and we need to be completely separated and transformed to become a person without defects."
"This..." Fiona's eyes shrank when she heard the secret spit out by Su Lan. Everyone in her family had the same blood on their bodies, and that was the eighth-highest soul-killing sword saint Theo Aganzuo. blood, if what Su Lan said is true, could it be that his ancestors put a curse or some kind of restriction on these bloodlines.
"And the only thing that can do this is an extraordinary thing, the upside-down hourglass. That's why I came here." Su Lan looked at Fiona, whose face was constantly changing, and said that she came to Kaidi The reason for the loss of the city.
"You want to use an upside-down hourglass to separate the blood in your body?"
After thinking for a moment, Fiona suddenly realized that she finally knew why Su Lan left the family eight years ago. It was because she saw an opportunity. During the dark turmoil ten years ago, the Upside Down Hourglass disappeared into Caldecott City along with the top transcendent people. Su Lan's purpose here is to reverse the hourglass.
"You are such a terrible person. You were only in your teens 8 years ago, right?" Fiona smiled bitterly. Her rival since childhood was too far ahead of her. Maybe this was her.
"We witnessed death and the monsters who were born together. Every family is looking for a way forward, and my father knew more. He suspected that the problem was with the bloodline. He made me drink the incense. He wanted to see what would happen if I didn't drink the Sequence 8 potion." At this point, Su Lan sneered, her face cold and cold.
"After I drank the perfumer's potion, I completely mutated and turned into a terrifying monster. My father's theory was confirmed. He locked me in the basement. The next day I regained consciousness and saw him dead through the cracks in the basement. , his expression was distorted and frightened. I didn’t know what happened. I estimated that the time of his death was when I was unconscious. He died in his room. I used my mutant ability to forcefully push him away. In the basement, I found the key to the treasure house from my father's body, broke into the treasure house, and ate the pulp of the golden apple. The golden apple made me return to normal, which made me very happy. In fact, the box containing the golden apple There is another thing inside, which is a golden leaf. I used her to seal that thing and bring him out." The calm stories came out of Su Lan's mouth, and Fiona suddenly appeared in her mind. At these scenes, his expression suddenly changed, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
"Isn't your father alive? He is still alive and well."
"Alive? He was just replaced." Su Lan smiled contemptuously and said another thing in a cold tone.
"Replaced?"
Fiona felt a chill running through her head. If the head of the Damo family who is alive and well now is a fake, then who killed him and who replaced him?
"I don't know what happened, because I took Susie away with me after I went out, and the fake person just announced that I was expelled from the family for stealing the golden apple, and he didn't do anything. In order to completely get rid of the shadow of the family, I could only come to the Republic of Draf, which was established only more than 200 years ago, and came to the prosperous city of Caddick." Susie slowly told the reason for Caddick City. Her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
"What a terrible incident. It seems that it was a completely wrong decision for me to come to you." Hearing these stories, Fiona clenched her fingers. She knew that she was involved in a conspiracy, and Su Lan must have a strong support to tell these secrets so unrestrainedly.
"You just told me that? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?" Fiona pursed her lips, her fingers pressed on the luxurious long sword, and her tone was a little bumpy.
"People are selfish, you are a pathetic person like me, don't you want to get rid of it?" Su Lan thought to herself. If Fiona didn't cooperate with her, she would take the risk and use the inverted pointer to forcibly kill Fiona. However, in her understanding, her opponent who had played with her since childhood would definitely agree. This was a temptation she couldn't refuse.
Looking at Su Lan's calm eyes, Fiona's heart jumped. Su Lan was not the kind of person without a brain. She said these things so loudly. Wasn't she on guard? For a moment, a smile appeared on her face.
"So what do you need me to do?"
"The Adventurer's Guild is about the cause of the dark turmoil ten years ago and what Monroe hid, but it's a pity that he died too early." Su Lan smiled when she heard Fiona's answer. She said this for a reason, because the extraordinary people and seals that disappeared ten years ago were all from the Aurora Society, the Church of the Sun, and the Adventurer's Guild. She has also found some clues in the past eight years. From these clues, she analyzed some strange places. He also found these places, but there was no harvest. Until she saw Monroe who was also looking for those relics three years ago, she knew that Monroe was the person sent by the Aurora Society to find those powerful extraordinary people and seals. She asked her sister to approach Monroe and try to find some information. She also approached Monroe, but did not find the result she wanted.
"Monroe? Isn't he dead?" Hearing Su Lan mention a familiar name, Fiona looked up suddenly, her tone was very surprised.
"He was sent by the Aurora to find the ruins. He must know some information. After he died, I turned over his body, but there was nothing suspicious. I suspect that the things he stored the information must still be in Caldecott City." Su Lan's face was a little ugly. She had traveled all over Caldecott City in the past eight years, but there was no information. She hoped to find the missing inverted hourglass from the information left by Monroe and her own information.
"The inverted hourglass is indeed from the Aurora. They must know more information than us. I don't know about the dark turmoil ten years ago. This information was sealed by the guild, and I don't know what happened." Fiona felt that this matter was a bit troublesome. Monroe was dead. If there was any information, no one knew where he put it.
"The most important thing is that the Adventurer's Guild also participated in the dark turmoil ten years ago. The guild must know some information. I need you to find this information from the inside. I will find a way to find the information left by Monroe." Seeing Fiona fall into deep thought, Su Lan said another thing.
"Is this why you want to cooperate with me? I'll try my best." Hearing Su Lan's request, Fiona smiled and looked a little relaxed. From the description of these things, it is indeed beneficial to her.
"Well... I can't get the secret information of the Adventurer's Guild, and I don't want to have too much contact with the family. You are the best choice. I can't wait any longer." Su Lan saw Fiona's relaxed expression and smiled.
"I have to go. I need those secret information as soon as possible." After giving the order, Su Lan walked out of the carriage, and her figure gradually disappeared from Fiona's sight in the sun.
"I heard an amazing story." Fiona slowly lowered her head, and her thoughts gradually calmed down.
